Do, you have any comments, ideas, or suggestions?
Post Comment(s) Below.

Its a good starting idea, but I do have a couple of comments. Its not clear from the drawing that the geometry will push the bridge down hard enough/far enough to be effective. (I realize its just a simple drawing and you'd adjust for this, of course)

Secondly, since you didn't mention anything about it, I just want to be sure you can't just slap on a piece as your drawing shows. You must start the match with all parts of your robot (except the bumpers) inside the frame perimeter. Hence just about any bridge tipper mechanism will be an 'appendage' and will need to be 'deployed' sometime after the start of the match.
